METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EVALUATING FEEDING PERFORMANCE OF INDIVIDUAL NEONATES

摘要

A method and system for computing a relative score indicative of an individual infant's feeding performance based, at least in part, upon a comparison of one or more feeding factor measurements of the individual infant with a corresponding databased metric that is derived from a population-based sample of infants, wherein the comparison optionally provides a statistical association between normative metric values and adverse outcomes recorded for the same population-based sample and, thereby, a means for assessing the tested infant's risk for said adverse outcomes.
